Nexus Brick Faced Support Systems
Reaching New Heights
Brick, the UK’s favourite cladding material, is increasingly being used to deliver visually stunning buildings. Leviat and Ibstock Kevington, two of the UK’s foremost innovators in masonry support and prefabricated brickwork manufacture, created NEXUS®, a range of advanced lightweight solutions that make modern brick-faced soffits and lintels achievable and easy-to-install.
NEXUS® combines a specially developed Ibstock Kevington lightweight brick-faced steel unit with the tried and tested Ancon MDC stainless steel bracket angle support system.
NEXUS XI® is the latest addition to the expanding NEXUS family.
NEXUS XI® provides an innovative mechanically fixed suspended brickwork soffit and lintel solution. It has secured an ‘A’ fire safety rating from the BBA, meaning it can be specified and installed with confidence on high-rise residential buildings over 18 metres, in compliance with the recent amendment to Approved Document B of the Building Regulations.
